Torsion functions on moduli spaces in view of the cluster algebra

Abstract

We introduce non-acyclic PGLn(C)PGL_n(\mathbb{C})-torsion of a 3-manifold with toroidal boundary as an extension of J. Porti's PGL2(C)PGL_2(\mathbb{C})-torsion, and present an explicit formula of the PGLn(C)PGL_n(\mathbb{C})-torsion of a mapping torus for a surface with punctures, by using the higher Teichm\"{u}ler theory due to V. Fock and A. Goncharov. Our formula gives a concrete rational function which represents the torsion function and comes from a concrete cluster transformation associated with the mapping class.
